Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the regulation of plant physiology, in
particluar to methods for inhibiting the ethylene response in plants or plant
products, and has two embodiments.
The first embodiment relates to complexes formed from molecular encapsulation agents such as cyclodextrin,
and cyclopropenes and its derivatives such as methylcyclopropene, in
addition to cyclopentadiene and diazocyclopentadiene and their derivatives,
thereby providing a convenient means for storing and transporting these compounds
capable of inhibiting the ethylene response in plants, which are reactive
gases and highly unstable because of oxidation and other potential reactions.
The second embodiment relates to convenient methods of delivering to plants
these compounds capable of inhibiting the ethylene response in the plants in order
to extend their shelf life.

Abstract: A head unit (1) is inverted so that an outflow port (9) is in
the lowest position. Because the top wall (7c) of the buffer
tank (5) slopes downwards towards the outflow port (9), all
remaining cleaning fluid that was introduced during
manufacture is removed. Also, a notch (8b) is provided in the
bottom end of an ink introduction port (8). The notch (8b) faces
towards the outflow port (9) so that bubbles in the ink exit
from the notch (8b) and are guided towards the outflow port (9). The
head unit (1) is shipped while the buffer tank (5) is filled with
preservation fluid that has high wettability and any
openings to the outside air are closed off with covers.
When the head unit (1) is used, the preservation fluid is sucked
by a purging device and then ink, which has a high affinity
for the preservation fluid, is smoothly introduced. Also,
the inner surface of the filters (11) are treated to increase the
wettability by ink after the filters are fixed to the bottom
lid (5a). Afterwards the bottom lid (5a) is fixed to the top lid (7c) to
form the buffer tank (5).

Abstract: The clutch oil pressure (P cl ) supplied to a hydraulic control apparatus of an automatic transmission is detected. If it is detected that the clutch oil pressure (P cl ) is less than or equal to a first threshold value P A  when a first oil pump cooperative with a drive power source is to stop, the second oil pump is driven. Therefore, after the oil pressure (for example, P y ) remaining due to the first oil pump has decreased, the second oil pump is driven, and an oil pressure (P x ) needed for the hydraulic control of friction engagement elements is maintained. If it is detected that the clutch oil pressure (P cl ) is greater than or equal to a second threshold value (P B ) when the first oil pump is to be driven, the second oil pump is stopped. Therefore, the second oil pump is stopped when the oil pressure provided by the first oil pump rises to such a level that the oil pressure (P x ) can be secured. Thus, the load on the second oil pump is reduced so as to allow a size reduction thereof.
